Let's get ready for Christmas

Happy Card making day for the 5 October.
This day was started in 2006 as a way to get us started on our Christmas cards and so
Simon says stamp blog World card making day challenge has asked us to show something we have made to start the process .
Simon says stamp blog Monday challenge is
'Let's get ready for Christmas'

Over the years I have made a number of these half and half trees.
To do it I start with a white base and then adhere half of the original size paper onto the one side and then the opposite colour cut slightly smaller onto the opposite side. (Hope that makes scene). Once I have done that I prick the holes and do the stitching.



Supplies:
Card stock: 160gsm in white
paper: 80gsm in red
Bugle beads in white and red
Thread: White: DMC Blanch
